Case Study: 1918 Influenza Pandemic Case Study: 1918 Influenza Pandemic: Prior to COVID-19, the 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. First identified in military personnel in the spring of 1918, the influenza was an H1N1 virus of avian origin. It is commonly referred to by scientists and historians as “the Mother of all Pandemics.” This pandemic is often referred to as the “Spanish Flu” in the lay press, though this name is a misnomer, and the virus likely originated elsewhere. Contemporary reporting focused heavily on Spain, as it was one of few places at the time that did not have restrictions on the press during World War I.
SnapShot: COVID-19 SnapShot: COVID-19: In December 2019, several cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were reported in Wuhan, China. The causative agent was characterized as a novel coronavirus, initially referred to as 2019-nCoV and renamed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Zhou et al., 2020b). This respiratory illness, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has spread rapidly by human-to-human transmission, caused major outbreaks worldwide, and resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality. On March 11, 2020, WHO classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. It has stressed health systems and the global economy, as governments balance prevention, clinical care, and socioeconomic challenges.
Basic Virology and Immunology Basic Virology and Immunology: In December 2019, a series of cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were reported in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province in China. The causative virus was isolated and characterized in January 2020 (Zhou et al., Nature 2020, Zhu et al., NEJM 2020). On January 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) tentatively named the virus as the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). On January 30, 2020 WHO issued a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) and on February 11, 2020, the WHO formally named the disease caused by the novel coronavirus as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). At that time, based on its genetic relatedness to known coronaviruses and established classification system, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses classified and renamed 2019-nCoV as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On March 11, 2020, the WHO formally characterized the global spread of COVID-19 as a pandemic, the first to be caused by a coronavirus.
